RegistrationClosed ProgramsNursing.
LimitationsEnrollment in some courses in aviation, business, computer science, education, engineering, aerospace studies, interior design, and art may be limited. Engineering students should have at least a B-grade average (3.0 GPA), and may need to provide course descriptions in English of previous engineering coursework to demonstrate they meet engineering pre-requisites. Art students may be required to submit a portfolio, and music and theatre students may need to audition.
Some colleges on campus charge "differential tuition," which is a surcharge attached to certain classes. More information on differential tuition can be found here: https://www.usu.edu/registrar/tuition/ in the appropriate "Tuition and Fee Schedule" link for the term you are attending. USU will pay an allowance of up to 6 credits of any undergraduate differential tuition for regular exchanges. If a student takes more than 6 credits worth of undergraduate differential tuition, the excess may be the responsibility of the student.

Important Notes about Health Insurance
International students need to enroll in USU’s student health insurance OR waive USU’s student health insurance if you have another sufficient insurance. If you are a domestic NSE student, USU requires that you be responsible for your travel insurance for the period of travel and obtain necessary health insurance to cover you for the period of travel. The insurance premium for the fall 2024 semester is $924 and for spring 2025/summer 2025 semesters is $1500.

All immunizations listed in this link (https://www.usu.edu/global-engagement/current-students/health-insurance) are strongly recommended. There is no preferred process of administration.
You may also want to bring a copy of your immunizations with you to USU. Students should have a record of surgeries, major illnesses, current medications, allergies, allergic reactions to medications, etc. If a student has a significant health problem, they should bring along medical records. Students can obtain immunizations upon arrival; any cost for those immunizations would be the responsibility of the student.
